A chance meeting has led to an exchange of emails which may just show Vlad and Lexie that there's nothing wrong with having a pair of fangs or a deep, dark secret, and that even though the teenage years suck...they're better with a friend.

Who Are Vlad And Lexie?

Vladimir Tod:
Junior high really sucks for thirteen-year-old Vlad Tod. Bullies harass him, the principal is dogging him, and the girl he likes prefers his best friend.
